his beer looked and smelled much better than it tasted. The flavor is very confusing with a nice hop presence up front which quickly gets overpowered by a lactic, musty maltiness that is not very pleasant. I was hoping for more from this beer becuase of the great things I had read about it.

Sep 5, 2008 Updated: Sep 20, 2008Having been disappointed with many Youngs beers in the past, this has been a good success, first sip is a mixture of yeast, spices, acid, hops and then the mixture of fruit sets in, this is a strong, powerful and very nice ale. The after taste is also very good. It has a luxurious feel to it and although, its perhaps not a great session ale, its a good one to have sometimes, nice. UPDATE: did not enjoy this so much 2nd time round 500ml bottle. it may have something 2 do with having tried Greene King ipa earlier which was bad.

Aug 25, 2008 Knew this was good as the floral and citrus came off the nose. Murky colour with not much of a head. Citrus and spice with modest grip. Nice beer.
